Just like humans, cats can suffer from allergies. These allergic reactions may show up as itchy skin, digestive issues, or chronic sneezing. For many cats, food plays a big role in triggering or soothing allergies.
Understanding the causes and symptoms is the first step—and choosing the right cat food, like Dogalicious fresh meals, can make a world of difference.
1. What Causes Allergies in Cats?
Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances. In cats, common allergens include:
• Food allergens: beef, dairy, fish, or grains commonly used in kibble.¹
• Environmental allergens: dust mites, pollen, mold.
• Flea bites: flea allergy dermatitis is one of the most common triggers.²
2. Symptoms of Cat Allergies
Signs can vary depending on the allergen, but typical symptoms include:
• Constant scratching or licking
• Red, inflamed skin
• Hair loss or scabs
• Chronic ear infections
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Sneezing and watery eyes³
3. How Diet Impacts Cat Allergies
Food allergies are especially common. Studies show up to 15% of cats with chronic itching have food sensitivities.⁴ Many commercial cat foods contain fillers, artificial additives, or low-quality proteins that increase the risk of allergic reactions.
Fresh cat food, however, offers:
• Limited ingredients – fewer triggers
• Human-grade proteins – higher digestibility
• No artificial preservatives or colors – reducing chemical irritants
4. How Dogalicious Fresh Cat Food Helps Cats with Allergies
Dogalicious is carefully formulated to help manage allergies:
• Single-protein recipes reduce exposure to common allergens.
• Grain-free options prevent sensitivities linked to wheat, corn, or soy.
• Natural ingredients with no artificial preservatives minimize chemical triggers.
• Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce skin inflammation and itching.⁵
5. Other Ways to Help Cats with Allergies
Along with diet changes, allergy management may include:
• Regular flea prevention
• Reducing dust and mold in the home
• Using hypoallergenic bedding
• Consulting your vet for allergy testing or medication
